Mustang Pride/PBIS
At Centerville we have MUSTANG PRIDE!
C = CHARACTER: Focus on building strong character by teaching values like respect, responsibility, kindness, and honesty, to make positive choices.
E = Expectations: Showing respect to others, following rules, being responsible for one's actions and belongings, completing assignments on time, working together as a team, and always trying one's best.
S = Safety: Following instructions in the hallways, keeping hands and objects to oneself, using kind words, and listening to the teachers.
What is PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports)?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a system used in schools to encourage good behavior and create a safe, supportive learning environment. PBIS teaches students what behaviors are expected, rewards them for following these behaviors, and provides help for those who need it. Students earn Mustang Bucks as rewards for displaying positive behavior, which they can use for different incentives. Every nine weeks, the school holds a PBIS celebration to honor students' achievements. The goal is to reduce discipline problems, improve learning, and build a positive school culture where everyone feels safe and respected.
Centerville's PBIS Goal!
The goal of PBIS is to create a positive school climate, in which students learn and grow with a feeling of safety, school pride, and respect.
Students meeting classroom and school expectations earn Mustang Bucks for showing Mustang Pride. These bucks are used once a month to purchase a snack from our Snack Shack. Students also have the opportunity to participate in school wide celebrations each nine-week period to celebrate positive behavior.
Key points to remember:
Positive reinforcement:
Catch your child doing good things and praise them specifically for their positive actions; this reinforces desired behavior.
Clear communication:
Explain expectations clearly and consistently, using age-appropriate language.
Role modeling:
Demonstrate the behavior you want to see in your child by acting appropriately yourself.
Active listening:
Pay attention to your child when they are talking and try to understand their perspective.
Choice-giving:
Offer your child options where possible to promote a sense of control.
Consistent consequences:
Establish clear consequences for breaking rules and follow through consistently.
Building relationships:
Spend quality time with your child and show genuine interest in their life.
